Copter

Quadrocopters are loads of fun and really neat RC projects. Instead of a body for the copter, this project uses the PCB itself as the airframe. With a weight of just 20 grams and just 8 cms long, it's as barebones as you can get. The PCB airframe...

We've seen loads of RC copter projects, but with a extra features, you can enable yours for aerial combat too. Two Swedish DIYers build a tricopter to target hydrogen balloons (which are flammable, by the way). It's controlled via first-person...

An Autogyro is an odd, yet fascinating flying machine which uses a helicopter rotor for lift while a standard plane rotor provides thrust. You can learn to build a DIY autogyro yourself and even build autogyro models using miniature servos. Heck,...

We have floated lots of DIY copter projects. Take that and mix it up with some out-of –the box creativity to put together this remote controlled Evil Flying Ghost. Just imagine this thing chasing frightened kids down the street on Halloween!...

We've seen our loads of RC projects, and here's another superb example of remote control circuitry. This DIY RC Starship Enterprise build is a surprisingly simple machine: It's essentially a multi-chambered blimp with a small "rudder" to steer...

As it whizzes overhead, you might think it's a military drone, but it's actually just a hobby project using recycled materials. The main body is made of cardboard and the electronics are salvaged from previous projects.
Don’t Miss: DIY...

This Linux-based "swarming micro air vehicle" project is a fairly simple, yet impressive build. The robotics project uses a fleet of micro-light flying robots to made out of polypropylene sheets. Weighing just 420g and with a wingspan of 80cms,...

The ScanCam 200 is the eagle eye you would want for surveillance security of your property. Out of all of our helicopter projects, this one has the most stylish launching mechanism. The autonomous perimeter security system is actually a small UAV...

Some software developers don't get into hardware because they enjoy the instant gratification of seeing their work displayed on screen. They don't want to fuss with soldering or hooking up components. Now, however, they can't complain since...

This is definitely one of the best helicopter hobby projects you are going to come across. This tri-copter is not only extremely versatile, but the project how-to is laid out in great detail as well. It's an open source tri-copter that is now in...
